Notes to Annex I
(1)
This classification is for statistical purposes only and does not imply any judgement regarding
the stage of development and the political situation of any country or territory.
(2)
The groups of countries or territories used for presenting statistics in this Review are made up as
follows:
Developed market-economy countries: Codes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Countries of Central and Eastern Europe and Republics of the former Soviet Union: Code 6.
Socialist countries of Asia: Code 7.
Developing countries and territories: Codes 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Of which:
In Africa: Codes 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3
In America: Codes 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5
In Asia: Codes 10.1 and 10.2
In Europe: Code 11
In Oceania: Code 12.
(3)
In certain tables, where appropriate, open-registry countries are recorded in a separate group.
The group comprises Bahamas, Bermuda, Cyprus, Liberia, Malta, Panama and Vanuatu.
(4)
Trade statistics are based on data recorded at the ports of loading and unloading. Trade
originating in or destined for neighbouring countries is attributed to the country in which the
ports are situated; for this reason, landlocked countries do not figure in these tabulations. On
the other hand, statistical tabulations on merchant fleets include data for landlocked countries
that possess fleets.
